Advance THETA ULS

Advance THETA ULS Leave the paved path Adventure Tourer The THETA ULS takes you out into undisturbed nature, far away from crowded launch sites. With minimal weight, maximum feel-good factor and tangible performance, you will be inspired to set out on new adventures, and be motivated to expand your skills. The new performance intermediate is based on the ultra-light construction of the OMEGA ULS. Ultra-light ULS technology with a winner’s DNA The new ultra-lightweight construction developed for the OMEGA ULS is now available to a larger group of pilots for the first time. The combination of the lightest materials and an extremely weight-optimised internal structure means that the THETA ULS is available from 3.1 kg.   Easy going Safe flying feeling with performance The THETA ULS combines two worlds by bringing together the performance of the IOTA DLS with the feel-good factor of the EPSILON DLS. As an ultra-light mid-B wing, it is an all-rounder for a wide range of pilots.   Universal Inspiration for new adventures The right wing for pilots with many interests who like to explore new areas. The THETA ULS encourages your spirit of discovery and promises you freedom and independence on your flying adventures: whether for vol-biv, hike-to-fly tours or when travelling.   Picture: Adi Geisegger   Chrigel Maurer climbs 82 4000 m peaks with the THETA ULS “Taking off and toplanding in high alpine terrain can be very challenging due to strong, changing winds and steep, rocky slopes. Due to its simplicity, the THETA ULS is perfect for our XPeaks project.” TECHNOLOGY & FEATURES ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURE The heart of the THETA ULS is the filigree internal structure, which was first developed for the OMEGA ULS. Benefitting from the experience of countless competitions, we have perfected maximum possible rib cut-outs (micro cross-ports) as well as the complex inner structure we call Sliced Diagonals. ULS also uses only the lightest materials including “Nitinol-Rods”. NEW PROFILE FOR MORE PERFORMANCE AND COMFORT The new-generation profile has an optimised pressure distribution across the wing chord, for balanced pitch behaviour. This delivers high performance with reduced canopy tensioning, resulting in pleasant feedback by optimally absorbing turbulence. In addition, lift distribution, wingtip to wingtip, is more centred, with less lift at the wing tips and less tendency for the pilot to get pushed off course. This results in smoother, more comfortable flight behaviour. EFFECTIVE PITCH-CONTROL-SYSTEM Active flying using the C line level allows you to exploit the full performance potential of the THETA ULS. Modern pitch control by C-handles helps you do this. Control inputs are transmitted directly from C- to B-level so that the profile does not deform. This allows you to best adjust your angle of attack without sacrificing performance. HIGH-TECH EDELRID PRO DRY LINES The THETA ULS line set is extremely length-stable and retains above-average tensile strength, even after many flights. Unsheathed Pro Dry lines are colour-coded and 60% more water-repellent than previous-generation lines.   TECHNICAL DATA THETA ULS 21 23 25 27 29 Flat surface m2 21.52 23.33 25.42 27.33 29.13 Projected surface m2 18.26 19.80 21.58 23.20 24.73 Certified takeoff weight kg 55-73 65-85 78-99 90-112 102-125 Ideal weight range kg 60-70 70-82 82-95 95-108 108-122 Glider weight kg 3.10 3.35 3.55 3.80 4.00 Span m 10.79 11.23 11.73 12.16 12.55 Projected span m 8.55 8.91 9.30 9.64 9.95 Aspect ratio 5.41 5.41 5.41 5.41 5.41 Projected aspect ratio 4.01 4.01 4.01 4.01 4.01 Max. chord m 2.44 2.54 2.66 2.75 2.84 Number of cells 59 59 59 59 59 Certification EN/LTF B EN/LTF B EN/LTF B EN/LTF B EN/LTF B Materials Leading edge Skytex 32 universal Upper surface Skytex 27 classic II Lower surface DOKDO-10DSF-HD25 Profiles Skytex 32 hard finish, Skytex 27 hard finish Unsuspended profiles Skytex 27 hard finish Diagonals Skytex 40 hard finish, Skytex 32 hard finish, Skytex 27 hard finish Tension tapes Skytex 32 hard finish Main lines A-8001-230, -190, -130, -090 Gallery lines A-8001-130, -090, -070, -050 Stabilo PPSLS 125 Brake lines A-8001-050, -070 Steering lines A-8001-190, A-7850-240 Risers PES/Technora 7mm Softlinks Softlink DC 300 Scope of delivery COMPRESSBAG ULS Repair Kit Mini Windsock Getting Started Booklet
